Hangju water level observatory is the facility constructed to observe the water level of Han River at Haengju-dong, Deokyang-gu in the 1930s. Officlal observation ended in 1979. The first year when observation started was 1916. However, observatory was constructed in the 1930s while installing the 浮子 自己水位計 to make it feasible to more accurately observe. According to the <Joseon River Report> issued by Governor General of Korea in 1929, various situations at that time were recorded providing a detailed circumstance when it was constructed.
This observatory is important as a relic related to the water gate and river construction in the Japanese colonial era and also a meaningful resource for representing construction methods and skills at that time. It has been designated as the cultural asset number 599 registered in Gyeonggi-do.
